Title: CREAM CHEESE CHOCOLATE CHIP PIZZA (SOFT)
Categories: Cookies, Desserts
Yield: 2 12″ pizzas

1 c Butter-margarine; softened
3/4 c Sugar
3/4 c Brown sugar
8 oz Cream cheese; softened
1 ts Vanilla
2 Eggs
2 1/4 c All purpose flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
12 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
1 c Chopped walnuts (Optional)

Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease two 12 inch pizza pans. Cream butter,
sugars, cream cheese and vanilla in large bowl. Add eggs, beat until
light.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Add to creamed mixture;
blend well. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts (if used)

Divide dough in half, spread each half evenly into prepared pans.

IMPORTANT – DO NOT SPREAD ALL THE WAY TO EDGES, THIS DOUGH DOES SPREAD
Leave about a half inch space between edge of dough and rim of pizza pan.

Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in pans on
wire racks.

To serve: cut into slim wedges.

Personal note: When these were brown and ready to take out of the oven
they had a soft consistency – much like that of a soft batch cookie. I
wanted a firmer cookie. Put them both back in the oven, and turned the
off. Let sit for 1 hour hoping they then became more like a chocolate chip
cookie. They never crisped up, but remained soft. Still tasted good.

Title: Low-Fat Nilla-Nana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Categories: muffins
Yield: 16 muffins

1 c sugar
1 lg egg
2 ripe bananas; mashed
1/3 c applesauce, sweet or unsweet
8 oz vanilla-flavor lowfat yogurt
10 oz semisweet chocolate chips
2 c all purpose flour
1 ts baking powder
1 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt

Preheat oven to 375~. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and the egg
and blend well. Add the mashed bananas, applesauce, and yogurt and
stir to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. In a separate bowl,
combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well
in the center of the flour mixture and pour the wet ingredients into
the well. Stir until just blended. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the
batter evenly into the two 8-cup muffin pans that have been well
greased or lined with paper muffin cups. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or
until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
This is a light-colored muffin so be careful not to overbake. Let the
muffins cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove and
place on a wire rack to cool.

NOTE: You can substitute two 4-oz jars of banana baby food (such as
Gerber) for the applesauce and use just 1 ripe banana. Or try other
baby food fruits such as pineapple, apple or plum.
